A novel in progress by John Barnes. Roughly 2000 word chunks posted every Tuesday. Aggregated into chapters now and then for the convenience of people joining later. Since it's a blog, start reading with the oldest posts first. Genre is hardboiled mystery,language and subject matter not kid-suitable.

A brief interruption, and one heck of a place to leave a freshly kidnapped girlfriend
This'll teach me to do anything interesting, ever. Literally the day after posting the first action-heavy scene in Father Lucifer, chaos of an almost entirely good
kind (CAEGK, which sounds like a noise a cat makes bringing up a
hairball) erupted into my life. This is rather like what some other
writers refer to as a Sekrit Project, which is probably a reference to
something or other that I missed along the way. Anyway, can't talk
about it yet, will be great if it happens, and won't know for a couple
few weeks I think ... but I should be back on the regular job around
Wednesday or Thursday, and all blogs will resume normality shortly after
that. So meanwhile Hal's unconscious, Stacy is kidnapped, and Breit is still a gross old poop, but Hal will just have to depend on him anyway, because he is the only Good Guy on his feet at the moment. Might get something in late this week but will probably let it ride around till Tuesday the 28th.
